The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association-Episode 94
〈 94Tue 〉 Twelve missions, investigation (1）
* * *
Yongbongdan’s daily life was peaceful..
Under the assumption that the accidents that occur every day and the anger of Danghwaseo who are called in due to them can be called peace, it was more peaceful than ever..
How long has it been since those days continued?.
“Here's the next mission.”
The second mission was given.
Yongbongdan's office.
Danghwaseo, sitting at the head of the table, said.
“This time it's an investigative mission..”
“Investigation?”
“yes.”
Danghwaseo unfolded the map he was holding onto the table..
It was a map of the central plains, and there were black dots all over the map..
“These are the locations of the demons we have found so far. And what is written is their disguised identity..”
A look of surprise appeared on the members' faces..
“…There are so many?”
“The disguised identity is also unusual. To merchants, landowners, military officers, and generals….”
As Mok Ri-won and Il-un said, the demons were thoroughly camouflaged to the point that one couldn't help but wonder, 'How?'.
All over the central region..
Danghwaseo nodded and continued speaking..
“Yes, it is a status or scope that cannot be created by preparing for a day or two. Here is Maeng’s guess:.”
“What is it?”
“The invasion of demons began at least ten years ago..”
The atmosphere became tense..
Hyewoon narrowed her eyebrows and said..
“That makes sense. Even in the mission just before, Wu Kang-Yeok's disguised identity was that of the So family head's son-in-law. They say the period was short, but to become the son-in-law of such a famous family, you would have needed a lot of preparation..”
“Yes, this is the mission I received..”
Danghwaseo held the secret letter in his hand and waved it..
It was a secret letter containing the contents of the mission..
“What is it?”
“We are going to Guizhou.”
“Gwiju Ramen….”
“It's the land of the black people..”
Mok Riwon’s expression hardened..
“Why is it there??”
“This is because it was determined that the first place where the Ma people expanded their territory was in the south. As you can see from the map, the power of the demons becomes stronger the further down you go..”
“Are you looking for a base?.”
Danghwaseo nodded at Namgung Jincheon’s words..
“Yes, the Mines will also have a branch secretly set up in the central region. We must find the branch of the Demonic Cult..”
investigation mission.
land of black people.
And a branch of the Demonic Cult.
I could tell just by reflecting on it that it was not an easy mission..
“Just like last time, the disguise is….”
“doesn't exist.”
When Mokriwon was puzzled, Danghwaseo added an explanation..
“This time, I will reveal my identity. In one word, it's bait..”
“What are you fishing for??”
If it was an investigative mission, camouflage was obviously a much better move..
But why do you pretend to be the bait, even giving up that advantage, and why are you trying to catch them like that?.
At that question, Danghwaseo smiled crookedly..
“blackness.”
It was a smile that seemed a little dangerous..
“We will look for black thieves who may have colluded with the demons..”

One week left until the mission begins.
Mokriwon found a goat and cow..
“Hey, you mean Gwiju??”
“yes!”
“Yes, it would definitely be difficult to camouflage it in Guizhou..”
“yes?”
“Being a bait. It's not just about catching black swordfish..”
When Mo Liwon tilted his head as if he didn't understand, Goatso laughed and explained further..
“There is Haomun in Guizhou..”
“ah…!”
Haomun.
In terms of white island martial arts, it is a black island information organization that plays a similar role to the open world..
It was an organization mainly comprised of people disguised as warlords or courtesans, and as such, the type of information mainly related to backroom dealings..
In other words, all of them in Guizhou are masters of camouflage..
“They say that poor camouflage actually stimulates alertness.!”
“Yes, you guessed it right..”
Only then did Mokriwon understand..
Certainly, Yongbongdan's poor camouflage would not have been able to properly fool them, let alone the civilians on the road..
If it's a disguise that won't work anyway, it would be more reasonable to go around openly..
“Umm… Then, can we assume that Hao Wen is also related to the Demonic Cult??”
“You never know. They don't follow anyone's words unless it's Moonju's words..”
“Do you mean Moonju??”
“Yes, Hao Wen Ju. Those are things that would be thrown into hellfire if it were the Lord's command..”
The goat’s mouth became pouty..
“If Munju colluded with the demons, the monks would be helping the demons without even knowing what they were doing. If it were the other way around, you would be harassing the demons..”
“Umm… It's difficult.”
“There is nothing complicated to think about. Just stick to your mission and you will find out..”
“Have you ever been involved with Hao Wen??”
“There was quite a bit involved. I cut their jeondae moonju..”
Startle
Mok Riwon’s body trembled..
The goat-ox laughed and said.
“He deserved to die. Didn't he steal prostitutes, process them into human flesh, and sell them?.”
“That, like that…!”
“In fact, the reason why loyalty to Munju is so high now is also related to him. I was impressed by the fact that they put the safety of the disciples first and move. Isn't it true that humans, as animals, can't help but be friendly to those who protect them?.”
Mo Liwon realized one thing from the goat's words..
“…Do you know this Daemunju??”
Haomun's Wenju said that the Murim lord, Sabaekun, was also unknown, but for some reason, Goatso spoke as if he knew about Wenju..
Mokriwon’s prediction was correct..
“I only know the face.”
“Well, then don’t you know whether Moonju may have colluded with Mine??!”
“I do not know.”
“Ugh?”
“It has to be computational in nature. Even if you helped a demon, it would probably be for profit, and even if you lost to a demon, it would probably be for profit. So unless I know where its profits and losses are headed, there is nothing I can know..”
The goat ox drank tea..
Mok Riwon's head was becoming a little more complicated..
“Um, can you give me some advice? Things like how to behave in Guizhou..”
“Just keep one thing. Never give your body to courtesans.”
Mok Ri-won’s eyes were dark..
I didn't understand it right away.
Just like that, the time passed when I counted to five in my head..
“Well, that won't happen!”
Mok Riwon stood up with a bright red face..
What comes to mind is that on the first day I came to Gangho, I was harassed by courtesans at the Giru run by Danghwaseo..
The goat started laughing at the sight of Mo Ri-won looking embarrassed, even his chin shaking..
“Nevertheless, I am telling you to be careful. The courtesans there must have good skills..”
technology.
For some reason, Mokriwon’s ears perked up at the word that bothered him..
My eyes were tightly closed..
‘Yu, can you become a charlatan only if you lose to your carnal desires?!’
To mention something new, Mok Ri-won was a man in his prime..
Even though it's such a strange thing, I only do it in my imagination, and when such a situation actually comes up, I'm a shy 18-year-old who can't do anything because of shame..
Growing worries and subtle excitement.
After suffering from such things and ending his encounter with Goat-ox, the next person he visited was Jegal-san..
When asked what he would do if a courtesan seduced him, Zhuge Mountain responded angrily..
“Even you are worrying about useless things..”
“hmm? What do you mean??”
“Isn’t a courtesan a woman who has no owner? How on earth do you meet such women?.”
Mok Riwon’s mouth was tightly shut..
On his face, for the first time in a long time, my disdain for Zhuge Mountain came to mind..
monster dragon jegalsan.
He was a really nice guy, but he had a strange tendency to like married women..
This kind of eccentricity needs to be corrected..
Mo Li-won, who judged this, reported this to Dang Hwa-seo, and Zhuge-san suffered from diarrhea..
*
Danghwaseo was in trouble..
The worry of having a face so serious that shadows appear under the eyes was no different..
‘Courtesan?’
It was information that Mokriwon heard from his advisor..
The Haomen are powerful in Guizhou, and among them, courtesans use incredible skills to seduce foreigners and steal information from them..
It was an indescribably shameless tactic..
Danghwaseo suddenly remembered the past..
When we first met in Suyanghyeon, Mokriwon, who was dancing among courtesans, flashed before our eyes..
It's like being defenseless against a girl who targets your body on a topic that you know so little about the relationship between men and women..
It was the behavior of a virgin who thinks of love and sexual desire separately, and it was an action that is causing Dang Hwa-seo to worry now..
‘Dangerous.’
The purity of Mokriwon.
Tendons bulged on the back of Danghwaseo's hand..
The 'imaginary nympho' who always existed in a corner of Danghwaseo's mind was given the position of Haomun Wendou..
They will be curious about the dazzling appearance of Mok Ri-won, who just happened to be visiting Guizhou..
And the moment they realize that Mok-ri-won is a mukryong, they will try to attack Mok-ri-won under the pretext of ‘gathering information.’.
In fact, I just had an insidious thought of wanting to covet Mokriwon.!
thud!
Danghwaseo slammed the desk in anger..
Namgung Jincheon, who came to ask for repairs to the training hall again today, stopped in shock while opening the door..
When I saw Danghwaseo's angry face, I quietly closed the door..
‘It's not the right time..’
If you go in now, your request may go unfulfilled..
After thinking that, Namgung Jincheon quietly walked down the hallway and headed to his dorm..
He was a man who knew the beauty of waiting..
*
Time goes by quickly.
Danghwaseo’s Gomindo, Jegalsan Mountain’s Diarrhea, and Namgung Jincheon’s Yeonmujangdo.
Nothing was resolved smoothly, but before I knew it, it was the day of the mission..
Mo Liwon tilted his head as he looked at the three people with unhappy complexions..
But I couldn't get the answer I wanted..
Only Hye-un, who vaguely knew Danghwa-seo's concerns, came this far..
“Lord of the neck. You know what??”
“What do you mean??”
“They say people view the world according to their own standards..”
“hmm?”
“Those words just came to mind..”
Hyeun's gaze turned to Danghwaseo..
He looked a little pitiful..
Why not?.
Hyeun was sharing the same room as Danghwaseo..
That's why I hear everything she says as she moans about her nightmares..
Neck up... ! Courtesan is not allowed.…!
It was a sleeping habit that I didn't even know about..
On days when she was upset, she would always talk about her concerns in her sleep..
Still, is it better than when I was scolded and told to stop working?.
Hyeun continued to think for a moment, but then shook it off..
‘Nice to meet you.’
Hye-un did not want to understand Dang Hwa-seo worrying about losing her man to a courtesan..
It was correct to say that my common sense does not understand why something is difficult to do when it can just be tackled..
‘Besides, you are the Lord of the tree..’
Why bother worrying about a bachelor who gets all cocky at the slightest touch?.
When Hye-un looked at Mok-ri-won with a 'hmm', Mok-ri-won, startled by the look in his eyes, secretly headed towards Danghwaseo and hid behind it..
It's still awkward between us.
Mok Ri-won would instinctively hide behind Dang Hwa-seo's arms whenever Hye-un looked at him meaningfully..
‘It's really dangerous over there..’
If you don't have the ability to detect a crisis, how can you use it?.
Hyewoon clicked her tongue..
‘It's far away, it's far away.’
It's the same with Danghwaseo, who insists on taking the easy path, and Mokriwon, who mistakes the people who are going to eat me for their protectors..
Both of them had the thought that they had a very long way to go..
“Let's stop?”
There was not a single person in good condition..
Leading the Yongbongdan today was Hyeun, who had nothing to worry about..
